The Health Check was right, wasn't it? There is a lot of wear on that rear inner.

I'm going to get the geo set on the rear to 1/2 the standard setting for negative camber. I'll see if I can tell the difference in how it drives.

I think the oe wheels are shaped to provide extra resistance to the runflat tyres slipping off the rim in the event of a puncture, obviously all other wheels won't have this feature.
